There is always a frisson of excitement when the new season’s fixtures are announced but there is an extra spring in the step today. Flag-day for the champions will be the weekend of 4/5 August against Aberdeen but I’m sure, like me, your eye ran down the list, rhyming off the names: Aberdeen, United, Ross County, Inverness, Hibs, St Johnstone, Club 12!
You had a smile to yourself, didn’t you?
SPL secretary, Iain Blair, explains, “Following the failure of Rangers FC to exit administration via a CVA, we have received an application to register the transfer of their SPL share to a newco. Should it be rejected, then another club may be invited to join the SPL for season 2012/13.”
That pretty much covers it, Iain, Rangers FC’s share will pass to either Newco or another club may be invited to join. Simple enough language to explain where we are.
As recently as a week ago I was pretty sure the fixtures would contain Newco but sentiment has been flowing against the concept since Charles Green took the SFA to court, inadvertently inviting a severe punishment from the Association as well as annoying SPL chairmen.
The BBC SPL table is also worth a cursory glance, resplendent with only One Team in Glasgow!

“Prema Facia – What a player” Mark Hately 18/06/2012.
Prima facie ( /ˈpraɪmə ˈfeɪʃ.iː/; [1] from Latin: prīmā faciē) is a Latin expression meaning on its first encounter, first blush, or at first sight. The literal translation would be “at first face” or “at first appearance”, from the feminine form of primus (“first”) and facies (“face”), both in the ablative case. It is used in modern legal English to signify that on first examination, a matter appears to be self-evident from the facts. In common law jurisdictions, prima facie denotes evidence that – unless rebutted – would be sufficient to prove a particular proposition or fact. The term is used similarly in academic philosophy.
Most legal proceedings require a prima facie case to exist, following which proceedings may then commence to test it, and create a ruling.

Main article: Legal burden of proof In most legal proceedings, one party has a burden of proof, which requires it to present prima facie evidence for all of the essential facts in its case. If they cannot, its claim may be dismissed without any need for a response by other parties. A prima facie case might not stand or fall on its own; if an opposing party introduces other evidence or asserts an affirmative defense it can only be reconciled with a full trial. Sometimes the introduction of prima facie evidence is informally called making a case or building a case.
For example, in a trial under criminal law the prosecution has the burden of presenting prima facie evidence of each element of the crime charged against the defendant. In a murder case, this would include evidence that the victim was in fact dead, that the defendant’s act caused the death, and evidence that the defendant acted with malice aforethought. If no party introduces new evidence the case stands or falls just by the prima facie evidence or lack thereof.
Prima facie evidence need not be conclusive or irrefutable: At this stage, evidence rebutting the case is not considered, only whether any party’s case has enough merit to take it to a full trial.
In some jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, the prosecution in a criminal trial must disclose all evidence to the defense. This includes the prima facie evidence.
An aim of the doctrine of prima facie is to prevent litigants from bringing spurious charges which simply waste all other parties’ time.
i dont know why i subscribe to sky and to espn
i have just watched White and Patterson discuss the new club thing and im astounded – 2 “impartial” journalists discussing the best way to get new club into the SPL – no mention of cheating, dual contracts or any wrong doing whatsoever, just the best way to get new club into the SPL
Espn has Burley – enough said
im going to sit down and have a severe chat with myself about why i pay all this money for that tripe
I’ve just read possibly the most insightful comment ever posted by a Hun, in a discussion on possible double contract punishments on BigotBigot:
“We’re fucked”.
Surprisingly perceptive by their standards!

….defeated
I’m trying to consider which set of approaches and punishments would punish the huns most of all and hinder their financial rebuild? Would it be:
Genuine Newco
If the huns are a genuine newco they should apply to the bottom SFL league for a vacancy. However it probably pains me to say it, but if they are treated like genuine newco, then I don’t think we can apply penalties on newco for sins committed by old co.
Old pals act newco
So conversely it also probably follows that if they are not treated like a genuine newco and waltz straight back into the SPL instead then it is more valid to punish them for sins of the oldco
So whatever punishment awaits them should depend on how the fitba authorities view them.
Genuine newco in SFL bottom rung (the walk away route)
3 seasons in SFL before SPL entry
No transfer ban
No dual contract penalties
Probable player exodus
4 seasons out of Europe because of no previous accounts
Old pals act newco – Direct entry into SPL (the other walk away route)
Possible transfer ban for 12 months
Possible penalties for dual contracts (strip titles?)
Reduced Player exodus
4 seasons out of Europe because of no previous accounts
It seems that the Genuine newco route should be best and also fairest
And finally. On the subject of stripping titles can we still call the newco by their old title, ie the huns or are they now to be known as the the huns? One for Campbell Ogilvie to answer mibbees?

Club 12……………………….
Formed from the decaying putryfying carcass of a previous football team, Club 12 dream of becoming a real football team in the top tier of SPL football. Hampered by mendacious owners who are prone to telling lies, fabricating stories, exaggerating tales of former glory and devising fabulous tax avoidance schmes. Follow the the rampaging horde on a series of fantasy walks as they go in search of the mythical Blue Fairy who can make their dreams come true.
This summer’s must see event, coming soon to an SPL venue near you.

So where does todays developments leave RCO?
The benefits of smiling :)))
I have just had one of those encounters with an Orc that will live with me for a long time:))
Im walking along the steet in Bellsill looking splendid in my Shamrock t-shirt,
when I see him cleaning his car In the distance
Now normally i would have taken great delight in wiping the pavement with him about the dilemma him and his DEADCLUB find themselves in.
Now said bereaved mourner for his DEADCLUB is a relative (distant through marriage) :)))
As I reach him I decide not to slaughter him with my tongue BUT JUST TO SMILE(I dont know where it came from).
Said mourner was stripped to the waist pottering about with his car
I then notice the tattoos of the DEADCLUB crest and smile:) then I see the 5 stars and my smile broadens :)) not any 5stars but union jack stars my smile widens:))).
Him. hows it going
Me . fine (smiles):))))
Him. that you going to see your mum.
Me. aye (smile)
Him.How is she.
Me.no to bad .(smiling):))))
Him. How are you (starting to get twitchy)
Me.Never been better ,How are you(smile):))))
Him.you working (starting to frown)
Me. No, not the now (smiling):)))
Him. LOOK JUST F#*=*in GET IT OVER WAY AND SAY WHAT YOUR GONNY SAY YA BIG C#@T ,A KNOW YER DYING TAE SLAUGHTER ME JUST GET IT OVER WAE(pleading)
Me.Here dae yae no think yer gittin a wee bit paranoid thinkin peoples laughin at you.(SMILING):)))))
Him.DONT F#@+*N GIVE ME IT, I KNOW YOUS ARE ALL PI#&*%G YOURSELVES AT THE STATE WERE IN.(nearly in tears)
Me.I think your losing the plot wee man a never said a word ,WHOs SLAGGING YE.(smiling barely able to contain my self):)))))))
Him. EVERY C@*T YE MUST HAVE HEARD THEM even F#*/*n Motherwell fans. (nearing the heart broken stage)

leftclicktic (still smiling):))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) HAIL HAIL
Neil Dungcaster:
There is a prima facie case for rangers to answer, on second thoughts to prevent them goiing the way of Third Lanark or going forth and multiplying, a suitable punishment would be for them to lose their fifth star. You don’t have to have a sixth sense to realise this is what the rest of the league wants.
I just don’t get this Sky thing. The deal is about the worst in any football league. Some countries’ school football is getting more. If the deal is so important to the S.P.L. lairds o’ the manor, then show some tackle and challenge Sky. As someone has mentioned many times before, they have to fill viewing slots and the loss of the Celtic viewers all over the world for several of those 2+ hour slots has to make them think. In the end, if Sky had their way, the only football would be the E.P.L. and the top European teams. Who is to say that this T.V. Armageddon is not just round the corner (2+ billion to the E.P.L.). I firmly believe Sky are indirectly blackmailing the S.P.L. into accepting a non-deal – “deal or no deal”, as it were. Maybe time for the S.P.L. to check the nature of the liquid raining down on them from the Sky (the colloquialism ‘peeing down’ could be an appropriate term) – if they can get their nappers out of the sand that is.

All the way through this scandal I have wanted them gone, I know that if they go into Div3 then there will be no further punishments, but their history is gone, they can have no claim on it.
That will hurt more than anything.The SPL here are offering Green a choice, escape punishment or take the punishments, and they will be harsh and many, they may even leave them out of football altogether, if they decide to apply for the SPL membership. Or go into Div3 as a clean new club with no history, but this will give them no baggage.
Rock and a hard place for Green, another to walk away?

If the ‘prima facia’ – who am I to contradict Hatley? – case becomes an actual case, and the ‘govanliquidatorees’ (in the Oxford dictionary next week)’ are proven guilty, can the S.F.A./S.P.L. retrospectively expel/sine die, or for Hatley, Siny Daeye, the ‘govanliquidatorees’ and would that mean their would be no ‘licence/membership’ etc. to transfer to a ‘new entity’? Get the crystal bowl out or just share your knowledge as usual!

One of the MANY things that I find odd about this situation is that I haven’t been given the opportunity to find out if I have it in me to feel sorry for any of them.
This is because they are still in a lemming like stupor and are totally oblivious to the fact their beloved insitution of hate, has actually ceased to exist!
Mibbes we should be congratulating the establishment for the clever process of hun expectation management – the boil the frog theory someone called it here ;))
Post swatch of SPL fixtures & the hun stars will be zooming away from the death star in their Segway PT’s…Naismith in his mobility scooter…those fixtures are like a starting gun for a race to see who can get out of the rogues retreat fastest…to hell with “we don’t do walking away”…it will be more like snakes vanishing into holes.

25 years married, celebration? Surely you mean a minutes silence and black armband :))))
As Ireland prepare to play Italy tonight the Irish team will wear black armbands in memory of those mudered in a Loyalist attack on a bar in Loughisland on 18th June1994
The Loughinisland massacre took place on 1994 in the small village of Loughinisland, County Down, Northern Ireland. The Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), a loyalist sectarian murder gang , attacked a crowded pub with assault rifles killing six civilians and wounding five. The bar was targeted because those inside were believed to be Catholics. As of late 2010, the Police Ombudsman is still investigating claims that Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) informers knew the massacre was being planned and that the RUC failed to carry out a proper investigation
